Moving Day

Every time we move i use command hooks to hang curtain rods untill i can install the hardware. I wish you would make command hooks just for this purpose. They would be great for dorm rooms and apartments. The hook would need to come out a bit. This would allow the curtains to open and close better.

To utilize the space inside of my pantry door, I hung all of my kitchen essential products such as tin foil, wax paper, and plastic baggies inside of it.

First, I wrapped them in craft paper and then I created fun, colorful labels for each of them before hanging them up with Command™ Picture Hanging Strips.

Command™ Picture Hanging Strips work great and hold the boxes strong enough for me to pull and tear a piece of tin foil/wax paper from them while they are mounted. They can also be removed to use at my table and remounted back on the inside of the pantry door easily when finished.

To organize my high heels, I created a shoe rack using a curtain rod and Command™ Large Traditional Hooks in Brushed Nickel. It’s a great use of wall space and eliminates taking up floor space in a bedroom or closet.

After determining where to mount my shoe rack, I applied the Command™ Large Traditional Hooks. Then I simply placed the curtain rod on top and then started hanging up my heels.

I found there are two different ways to hang them as shown in the picture.

Hanging curtains is as easy as 1-2-3 with Command(TM) Forever Classic Large Metal Hooks. Simply place one hook on each side of a window and lay a nickel-plated curtain rod across the hooks for a sleek, modern and damage-free window hanging.

I got this idea from my sister. I have a lovely antique bed that was a gift from my late husband. It's the kind with side rails and slats that the box springs sit on. Since I couldn't use a regular bedskirt because of the slats, I took strips of hemmed fabric that matched my bedroom color and used medium strength picture hanging strips to the inside of the rails and footboard. After that I just attached the fabric. Now I can remove the fabric to wash it, or change my decor whenever I want.

NEVER LOOK FOR A TISSUE AGAIN!

I was spending a great deal of time in the kitchen one year and often needed a tissue. I finally put a box in the kitchen and naturally kept it on the counter or the dinner table. But it seemed to have legs of itw own, and I could never locate it quickly when I needed it. Finally, I used your mounting squares to attach the tissue box to the wall under our calendar. I save space and always know where a tissue is when I need it!

Holds Photography Backdrops

Using Command Strips to hold up backdrop

We sell photography backdrops at http://lemondropstop.com and use Command picture hanging strips to hold up our polypaper or vinyl photography backdrops. They work great and we suggest them to all of our customers!

Dorms and office spaces are small making it hard to stay organized and find what you need when you need it. Maximize your work area by going vertical! Get items off the floor and desk surface and hang them up. Command(TM) Brand Hooks, Clips, Strips and Caddies let you take command of your space.

To help Keep my bathroom counter top space clean and free of clutter I created a Make-Up Board using a picture frame, printed scrapbook paper, a Command™ Clear Caddy, Command™ Black Stabilizer Strips and Command™ Black Medium Picture Hanging Strips.

First, I framed a piece of printed scrapbook paper. Then, I applied Command™ Black Stabilizer Strips to the back of each make-up items and then onto the front of the glass of the picture frame. Next, I adhered a Command™ Clear Caddy to the frame to hold items such as make-up brushes, eyeliner, and mascara. Lastly, I mounted the Make-Up Board onto the wall near my bathroom sink for easy access using Command™ Black Medium Picture Hanging Strips.
